Betrayal by Gregg Olsen
4.0
Wow, I mean this Empty Coffin duology isn't perfect but it really is interesting and entertaining.
Betrayal is based on the Amanda Knox case. Foreign exchange student Olivia is at Port Gamble staying with Beth Lee. They both get along and Olivia even gets along with the two twins, Hayley and Taylor. Now, Hayley and Taylor have before found out the an answers to the crime committed in [b:Envy|10586317|Envy (Empty Coffin, #1)|Gregg Olsen|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1304984025s/10586317.jpg|15493643] and the beginning of the book, they start getting weird feelings just like they did with the other crime. But before, Olivia Grant is killed at her new best friend, Brianna Connor's house. Everyone is confused, but the most unusual and strange thing is Brianna almost is annoyed with her friend Olivia's death and why wasn't her boyfriend helping her when she phoned in the murder? Is there more to the murder? Hell yes there is. Read Betrayal to see the journey of Hayley and Taylor trying to figure out who killed Olivia Grant and more information about them and their mother. Also while following Brianna and Drew's journey of being the prime suspect in Olivia's murder. With many turns of events, Betrayal will have you thinking you know the answer but then betrays you and twists the whole story.
I give the book more a 3.5/4 because there was no setting development and it was missing a lot of components to make it a little better. I mean, it's fast paced, every chapter has you guessing and it isn't long but there's no background or development in the book. Even in Envy there isn't. It is entertaining tho and perfect for the October month. Make sure to read Envy first tho s you aren't too lost with the Starla and her mom situation.
